iShares U.S. Dividend & Buyback ETF

DIVB tracks an index of all-cap US stocks that have a history of dividend payments and/or share buybacks.

Index fund investors face lower yields in the S&P 500, with the 2025 implied dividend yield at 1.3%, down from over 1.5% last year. The iShares Core Dividend ETF offers a compelling alternative with a 2.56% yield, low fees, and a bullish technical trend. DIVB's portfolio focuses on large-cap value stocks, excluding growth stocks, and has a low 14.6x price-to-earnings ratio, enhancing its attractiveness.

DIVB: A Dual Focus On Dividends And Buybacks

iShares Core Dividend ETF provides majority tech exposure while maintaining a high dividend growth and consistent returns. DIVB's strategy focuses on holding mostly US-based companies that return capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. DIVB's low starting yield of 2.8% is offset by high dividend growth, making it ideal for long-term investors looking to compound income.

DIVB is a well-diversified total shareholder yield ETF with a low 0.05% expense ratio. A strategy change in December 2022 boosted its dividend yield to approximately 3%. While DIVB's actual dividend growth prospects aren't as strong as they look on paper, they're still solid. Among large-cap value ETFs, it ranks above average on dividend yield, growth, and consistency. However, a weak dividend safety and low 2.07% estimated earnings growth rates are key weaknesses. DIVB's low P/E compensates investors, but it's not built for bull markets or high-interest-rate environments.

The ETF offers a tight expense ratio of 0.05% and a relatively strong dividend yield of 3.30%.
